I might just win!! *turned into a blessing post* share yours?

I'm trying not to get my hopes all up, but I just might win a makeover! My daughter nominated me and so far I'm in the lead. It would make her day AND mine. I keep checking my count all the time lol I told her, not sure what I'm gonna do when it's over, if I don't have my votes to look at every time I log online

Even more touching, was the nomination she wrote and so many wonderful comments friends AND 'strangers' made about me. As one friend posted, I get to READ all the things, it's not in an obituary. I truly am blessed, regardless of the hardships

Sometimes, the sadness and hardships in life make it more difficult to see the blessings, but I try to focus on them as much as I can. I will admit I had some troubles with that lately, but I am trying and this was definitely a helpful emotional blessing.

Well, this turned into a bit of a 'thoughtful' post, so what thoughts would you like to share? Any?

I'm just happy my son is finally starting to come into his own this year. Hopefully it all goes up from here! He's been in one play, auditioning for another, wants to go to different youth group activities, and went to "hang out with friends" this last month (a couple times) for the first time in YEARS! Just a year ago, his youth pastor was VERY worried about him, and asked if I thought he might be suicidal (I didn't think so, but he wasn't happy, and honestly, happiness felt like something that might not happen for him). Amazing what a few months can do.
